If you're trying to say that vira and fora should not be used, I beg to differ. Vira, the correct latin plural of virus, is already used in a number of languages, although not English. Same goes for Fora, the latin plural of forum. /Per Jessen, Zürich _______________________________________________ Prime mailing list [email protected] http://hogranch.com/mailman/listinfo/prime
